study to which they were originally enrolled or if the subject was withdrawn from
study treatment prematurely during the mepolizumab asthma clinical study to which they
were originally enrolled but the subject has completed the study assessments at the
study visit that would have been the end of the respective treatment period.
- The treating physician requesting mepolizumab under this Long-term Access Programme
considers the benefits of treatment with mepolizumab outweigh the risks for the
individual subject.

- The subject consents to receiving treatment with mepolizumab under this Long-term
Access Programme. In the case of a paediatric subject being eligible a

participation in the study. If applicable, the subject must be able and willing to
give assent to take part in the study according to the local requirement.
